Fantastic experience: Super sheltered beach from the east and north winds on the Asturian side. Plenty of parking, two access points to the sand (you need to pay attention to the tide). On calm days you can even swim, snorkel, and with low tide, although it's not very large, you can take a short walk.
Fantastic experience: Arnao beach is a true hidden treasure on the Asturian coast, a place that always surprises me with its beauty and tranquility. Located near the border with Galicia, this beach has a special charm that makes it stand out among others in the area. It is a small and secluded beach, which gives it an intimate and family-friendly atmosphere, ideal for disconnecting and enjoying a relaxing day by the sea. What I love most about Arnao is its natural surroundings. Surrounded by cliffs and vegetation, the beach has a wild and untouched appearance that makes it perfect for nature lovers. The sand is fine and golden, and the water, although it tends to be cool as is typical in the area, is crystal clear and clean, ideal for a good swim on sunny days. Despite being a small beach, I have never found it too crowded, which is a huge plus if you're looking to escape the typical crowds of other more popular beaches. In addition, it has the basic necessary services, such as a small parking lot and showers, which makes the visit much easier. Another noteworthy aspect is the small museum located in the old Arnao mine, very close to the beach, which adds a cultural touch to the visit. It is interesting to learn a bit about the mining history of the area before or after enjoying the sun and sea. In short, Arnao beach is a perfect place to enjoy nature in its purest state, ideal for those looking for a quiet and beautiful nook on the Asturian coast. It is a must-visit if you are in the area.
Fantastic experience: Good parking, bathrooms, showers, picnic area, 10 out of 10

Fantastic experience: The beach is a marvel. It's not as big as others in the area but has several advantages: the most important is that it is protected from the north wind. The view from the sand is also very beautiful as, being an estuary beach, you can see the Ribadeo lighthouse and the mountain instead of the open sea. The access is well-maintained and comfortable.
Fantastic experience: Protected beach from north wind. Great parking. White sand.

Fantastic experience: Espectacular y ya está!! Tienes chiringuito, duchas, baños, merenderos, fuente de agua, servicio de socorristas. Vamos, que sólo faltas tú.
Fantastic experience: Bonita playa con un parking amplio, hay un pequeño chiringuito en el parking que pasa casi desapercibido, venden helados y bebidas, le pregunte al señor y lleva ahí 30 años.
Fantastic experience: Una pequeña playa encantadora, arena fina, merendero con hierba, le falta el chiringuito que había.
Fantastic experience: Una playa con mucho encanto y en el chiringuito oxígeno se ven los mejores atardeceres con la mejor música en directo y la mejor compañía,mientras te refrescas.
Fantastic experience: Es un playa muy guapa en la que hay que bajar unos cuantos escalones, muy bonitas vistas; tiene formaciones de arrecifes muy interesantes. Tiene un parking cercano y control de circulación que hace que sea agradable para pasear y caminar por el paseo y por la senda. Tiene un sitio para hacer pic nic y cuenta con los servicios básicos; el chiringuito tiene buena música y pinchos. Para llegar ahí hay que cruzar la entrada de la antigua mina que había y que ahora tiene un museo. También hay una parada de autobús urbano que te deja muy cerca.

Negative experience: Ducha mal ubicada. Moja a los pobres socorristas que se llenan de agua de ducha de la gente. Incomprensible situación. Pobres chavales
Fantastic experience: I liked the day I went, although the sun didn't give us much time to enjoy. There were lifeguards, so it was very good.

Positive experience: la conocí haciendo el Camino de Santiago por la Costa y me gustó mucho. Esta un poco antes de llegar a Ribadeo. muy bien cuidado y zona de recreo con mesas. la playa de Arnao, una hondonada resguardada, de arena y piedras dotada con buenos servicios y muy frecuentada por el turismo. La playa de Arnao tiene entre sus peculiaridades La Hollina, una piscina natural que se forma en bajamar, y la plataforma de Arnao, un conjunto fósil de formaciones coralígneas que cconstituyen un interesante arrecife. Con un oleaje entre moderado y fuerte, es frecuentada por surfistas, aunque sus aguas también son aptas para la pesca.
Positive experience: Playa con buenas condiciones para hacer surf. De piedra, acceso bajando escaleras desde el paseo.
